Tour of California: Riders to Watch

Tom Danielson (Garmin-Barracuda)

3 / 11

Last year, Garmin-Barracuda’s Tom Danielson finished ninth in the Tour de France after coming in third at the Tour of California. The American comes back this year hoping for a similar pattern of results. Danielson’s one of the best pure climbers in the sport, but often struggles in individual time trials. He’ll need to do his best to limit his losses against the clock, while maximizing his gains in the mountains. Look for him to be one of Horner’s biggest challengers on Mount Baldy.Related Video: Danielson's Cervelo R5 CA
